Дуже мило, весело і трішки безглуздо

чомуууу це не повноцінна книжка? з таких коротких історій мені зазвичай мало що подобається, але ця – топ. єдине, чого не вистачило, – трохи передісторії. у всьому іншому я отримала задоволення від прочитання :)

4/5 ⭐️

This was cute! I wish it were longer because I liked the storyline. Tbh I have never read a boss/assistant romance (I normally stick to paranormal/fantasy) but this was engaging and cozy. I can’t wait to see more form this author 😆

What a cute Christmas read. This is a new local author to me. Found her at a little romance book store here and had to try it out. It’s a sweet read. No spice but oh so good.

4.5⭐️ for this Novella. Such a cute story!! I wish it was longer!!! (That’s my issue with Novellas…they suck me in and rush through the story, just to end way too soon). BUT despite my personal issue, this one was done really well. Definitely a fast burn romance, an angsty boss trope, with lots of chemistry. Little spice…just kissing. But it’s just such a sweet little holiday romance read. Excited to read more from this author!

The sweetest book!!

This book is short but oh so beautifully sweet. The perfect kind of book to crawl up with on a rainy afternoon. It's a quick read but this writer knows what she is doing. The book is written with depth, intelligence and purpose. It's not easy to capture such a beautiful and engaging story with limited pages but she does it with power.
I loved this book. It made me feel good, it was just warm and fuzzy.

Highly recommend checking it out for something easy to consume and feel good.

This book is just beautiful. Short but oh so sweet! I ate this book up. The talent this author has for writing is second to none!

So many swoonworthy moments, I felt like I was in a Christmas hallmark movie and it was just magic!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Just beautiful!

This may be one of the sweetest holiday romcoms! I absolutely adored it. Abby and Spencer were wonderful to get to know, and I would love if the author allowed us to continue their story one day!

A cozy winter blanket!
Love this story ! Part of the Seasonal Fates interconnected stand alone.

Cute novella short and sweet. This one is Abby and Spencer’s story . A workplace employee/boss romance.

They have to travel to Abby’s hometown in Aspen to help a client, which happens to be an ex of Abby’s .
Really sweet-if you’re looking for a quick romance and winter vibes this one’s for you


I have enjoyed Raine Winters works her words make you feel like you’re in whatever place or area she’s writing about

I saved this one for last so I could read it during Christmas. it was my favorite!!

[The Book Ssirren · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a cute book. I loved that it was short eight that I could curl up with it and read it in one day. I really enjoyed that for the free pages that it was, it wasn’t lacking anything. It was well written and had depth to it. I total immersed myself in it. Just an adorable and sweet read.

What a sweet and cute novella. This was a quick one hour read and I absolutely adored it. Abby is looking forward to the holidays with her family but her boss who is a workaholic has other plans. They take a work trip the day before Christmas Eve and they end up in her home town and in her parents’ home sharing a room. This trip causes Abby to realize she is falling for her boss. A really lovely story. I couldn’t believe it was over!

This was a cute, cozy Christmas read where the FMC had to face her ex when she realized that she wants her boss. It was written well and wasn’t cheesy like some of these can be.

[i_hype_romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 rounded to 5.
What a cute, sweet debut. I loved the revelation of the MMC’s secret pining and the self-actualization arc of the FMC.
Their interactions were a realistic representation of a boss/employee relationship without having a cringey power dynamic.
A fast, enjoyable read in a holiday setting.

Spice: 🌶️ (kissing and snuggling)

[Raynbow Corleone · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am not one for office romances, but this one was perfection. From the one bed to the subtle hint of touch her and die, it was all I needed to want more. Talk about heart melting!

[K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun read! Just enough sizzle with and adorable main character and a swoon-worthy book boyfriend!

[Sofia Ush · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and simple book not trying to be something it’s not. Fast and easy read.

[Cheyenne Hygh · Rating 5 out of 5]

So cute! This was such a sweet short bossXemployee romance read. You even got the little bit “uh oh” moments too!

[Ashlee Ward · Rating 1 out of 5]

Wompppp…mostly a miss for me on this one. I felt it had a really good premise! But…it fell short because the book was so…short. It seemed as if the author tried to squeeze in a multitude of tropes in such a short time span that none of them seemed too credible.

The main plot of the book is super trendy in holiday romance books - and this year I dove head first and haven’t stopped in the Christmas-trend. 😂 my review may be skewed for that fact alone.

There wasn’t a ton of character building and even less plot. I definitely forgot the main character’s names throughout the book and questioned whether the side characters were created via Ai. That said, the few words the MMC spoke were peak *boss* behavior and got the heart racing…until you turned the page. 🙈

Чудова історія для різдвяного настрою!
Так, це було коротко і швидко, хотілося б, щоб персонажі та іх стосунки були розкриті ширше. Але зі своєю задачею книжечка справляється. Тут і ліплення сніговика, і бій сніжками, і запалення ялинки. Все мило, святково, сповнено доброти і надії. І одна сцена сповнена такої напруги 🥵, що хоч 🔞 тут і немає, але було гаряче.
Було приємно провести вечір з цією історією.

Quick and Fun Holiday Read

I enjoyed this quick and fun holiday read. Spencer Grant and Abby Stephens (Boss and assistant to Boss) will have you melting in your most comfortable chair! Sure, there are a few “frosty exchanges” in the beginning…. but every relationship must start somehow!

[Christine Gales · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a cute read, I love Christmas in July but went with Christmas in June this time instead!

Варіянтів лише два:
або це дуже шаблонний плаский сюжет
або я розбалувала себе історіями з об'ємним сюжетом та глибокими емоціями, тому придираюсь до цієї книги
